Pros

People are good natured and will work hard as a team. You can earn a degree without having to commit any additional time to the organization. One of the few companies that does not require a one year (or longer) commitment for tuition reimbursement. If you want a job you can keep for 25+ years and have no ambition to move vertically, then this is a good company.

Cons

Toro (Irrigation Divison) has extremely limited opportunities for advancement unless people retire or get fired (rarely happens). The Irrigation Division is Domestically (USA only) driven which easily frustrates the folks in the International Division. There is no well established process for gathering the 'voice of customer' with regard to product development. Also, Engineering has the attitude that if the idea was not invented by their group, then it has to be a bad idea.

Advice to Senior Management

Schedules are NOT more important than product quality. A poorly performing new (or existing) product can easily tarnish the reputation of the brand. Not the type of 'brand awareness' you would think a company would want.
What is 'voice of the customer?' (i.e. why not perform actual customer research?)
